    AMIERJ Volume–VII, Issues– VII ISSN–2278-5655 Oct - Nov 2018 THE TRENDS OF STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS TECHNIQUE IN WILLIAM FAULKNER S NOVEL THE SOUND AND THE FURY’’ Chitra Yashwant Gaidhani Assistant Professor in English, G. E. Society RNC Arts, JDB Commerce and NSC Science College, Nashik Road, Tal. & Dist. Nashik, Maharashtra, India. Abstract: The term "Stream-of-Consciousness" signifies to a technique of narration. Prior to the twentieth century. In this technique an author would simply tell the reader what one of the characters was thinking? Stream-of-consciousness is a technique whereby the author writes as though inside the minds of the characters. Since the ordinary person's mind jumps from one event to another, stream-of- consciousness tries to capture this phenomenon in William Faulkner’s novel The Sound and Fury. This style of narration is also associate with the Modern novelist and story writers of the 20th century. The Sound and the Fury is a broadly significant work of literature. William Faulkner use of this technique Sound and Fury is probably the most successful and outstanding use that we have had. Faulkner has been admired for his ability to recreate the thought process of the human mind. In addition, it is viewed as crucial development in the stream-of-consciousness literary technique. According encyclopedia, in 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Sound and the Fury sixth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. The present research focuses on stream of consciousness technique used by William Faulkner’s novel “The Sound and Fury”.

  • William Faulkner's Narrative Mode In
    Humanities and Social Sciences Review, CD-ROM. ISSN: 2165-6258 :: 2(2):193–202 (2013) WILLIAM FAULKNER’S NARRATIVE MODE IN “THE SOUND AND THE FURY’’A STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS TECHNIQUE OR INTERIOR MONOLOGUE USED IN BENJY’S SECTION Tatiana Vepkhvadze International Black Sea University, Georgia The present research analyzes William Faulkner’s writing style in “The Sound and Fury”, it refers to the stream of consciousness technique called interior monologue. The term is borrowed from drama, where ‘monologue’ refers to the part in a play where an actor expresses his inner thoughts aloud to the audience. The interior monologue represents an attempt to transcribe a character’s thoughts, sensations and emotions. In order to faithfully represent the rhythm and flow of consciousness, the writer often disregards traditional syntax, punctuation and logical connections. He does not intervene to guide the reader or to impose narrative order on the often confused, and confusing, mental processes. Stream of consciousness is now widely used in modern fiction as a narrative method to reveal the character’s unspoken thoughts and feelings without having recourse to dialogue or description. Faulkner’s handling of stream of consciousness technique allows the FID narrator to shape a particular version of the character’s consciousness in terms of images, which need not be actual words or thoughts as the character expressed them. The use of interior monologue is common narrative mode of Benjy’s section that makes the text absolutely ambiguous for the reader. Benjy can’t speak and being a narrator of the first section ,we have an access to the plot of the story through his perceptions and feelings.

Arputhavel Raja ================================================================= Courtesy: https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/108166/dying.html Abstract William Faulkner is a typical writer and one of the transcendent writers of twentieth century who is best known for his fictional town Yoknapatawpha and cubistic technique of writing. He was much influenced by the paintings of Picasso and Braque, which makes him to write his novels using geometrical shapes to visualize the reality of his plot to readers. The article emphasizes how the geometrical shapes like cube, circle, horizontal, vertical, line, triangle =================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 18:3 March 2018 Dr. T. Deivasigamani, Editor: Vol. II Black Writings: A Subaltern Perspective A. Rajkumar, Ph.D. Research Scholar and Dr. G. Arputhavel Raja Cubistic Pixel’s in William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying 366 etc., functions in his novel As I Lay Dying. The article affirms how the geometric special abstractions apprise the setting and plot of the novel, and later to show how the spatiality of setting and plot in turn shape the characters, and finally to mix the theme in the spatiality of the characters. The cubistic shapes in this novel reveal the reality and circle of human life in abstract form. My research argues how Faulkner brilliantly uses the cubist painting technique of Picasso and Braque to write the novel geometrically.

    FAULKNER’S GOD & Other Perspectives To My Brother Arne "Memory believes before knowing remembers ....” –Light in August CONTENTS: Preface 2 1.

Transition: Faulkner’s Drift From Freud to Marx 79 6. Faulkner’s God: A Jamesian Perspective 127 SOURCES 168 INDEX 173 * For easier revision and reading, I have changed the format of the original book to Microsoft Word. 2 PREFACE "With Soldiers' Pay [his first novel] I found out writing was fun," Faulkner remarked in his Paris Review interview. "But I found out afterward that not only each book had to have a design but the whole output or sum of an artist's work had to have a design." In the following pages I have sought to illuminate that larger design of Faulkner's art by placing the whole canon within successive frames of thought provided by various sources, influences, and affinities: Holy Writ, music, biopsychology, religion, Freud/Marx, William James. In the end, I hope these essays may thereby contribute toward revealing in Faulkner's work what Henry James, in "The Figure in the Carpet," spoke of as "the primal plan; some thing like a complex figure in a Persian carpet .... It's the very string . .my pearls are strung upon.... It stretches ... from book to book." I wish to acknowledge my debt to William J. Sowder for his discussion of the "Sartrean stare" in "Colonel Thomas Sutpen as Existentialist Hero" in American Literature (January 1962); to James B.

Bibliography 36 , William Faulkner's avowed purpose, in writing, is to tell a story of the human heart in conflict with itself, with others, and with its environment. The primary job that any writer faces, according to Faulk- ner is to tell a story out of human experience, i.e., "universal, mutu- al experience, the anguishes and troubles and griefs of the human heart, which is universal, without regard to race or time or condition." He wishes to tell the reader "something which has seemed to him so true, 1 so moving, either comic or tragic, that it's worth repeating." Faulk- ner has chosen the novel as the form best suited to his purpose and his genius for writing about the experience of "man in his comic or tragic 2 human condition." In an age when many critics are eulogizing the death of tragedy in the modern theatre, the novel has become the primary vehicle of expres- sion for the tragic vision of life. Richard B. Sewall observes, in The Vision Of Tragedy, that the work of William Faulkner, although not a- lone in its generation, has gone farthest "toward restoring to fiction the full dimensions and the true dialectic tension of tragedy." Sewall feels that Faulkner's major works: The Sound And The Fury, Light l£ Au- gust, and Absalom, Absalom! are tragic in their concern, method and pur- 3 port.
